Elden Ring -Stormveil Castle #2 (2nd & 3rd Attempt)

This is a clip from my gameplay footage of 2022's popular video game "Elden Ring" on Playstation 4.

If you're unfamiliar with "Elden Ring", here's some quick info:

[GAMEPLAY] In Elden Ring, players control a customizable player character on a journey to repair the Elden Ring and become the new Elden Lord. The game is presented through a third-person perspective, with players freely roaming its interactive open world. Gameplay elements include combat using several types of weapons and magic spells, horseback riding, and crafting. (Wikipedia)

[STORY] Elden Ring takes place in the Lands Between, a fictional landmass ruled over by several demigods. It was previously ruled over by the immortal Queen Marika, who acted as keeper of the Elden Ring, a powerful force that manifested as the physical concept of order. When Marika eventually shattered the Elden Ring and disappeared, her demigod children began warring over pieces of the Ring in an event called the Shattering. Each demigod possesses a shard of the Ring called a Great Rune, which corrupts them with power. In the game, the player character is a Tarnished, one of a group of exiles from the Lands Between who are summoned back after the Shattering. As one of the Tarnished, the player must traverse the realm to repair the Elden Ring and become the Elden Lord. (Wikipedia)

• So we last left off in my previous video with that giant bladed lion and I killing each other at the same time which made me laugh.

• I respawn at the Site of Grace near the front gate and have to clear out the greeting party once again.

• I dodge the first ballista bolts but get nailed by the second and start tumbling my way to take them out again.

• But they hit me again, knock me off my feet again. Nearly killing me.

• With a tiny sliver of life left, I sprint up and thankfully the steps block the next volley of bolts -- because the Greater Will protects its strongest Tarnished lol

• I consider using a healing incantation spell but opt for a Crimson Flask instead since potions are faster.

• Somehow my first Lightning Bolt gets stopped by a wooden box that breaks ... not sure how that negated my spell but it sure made me feel silly.

• There's a cool amount when I kill the 3rd bowman where I somehow dodge an arrow while throwing a Lightning Spear.

• This time I don't get ambushed by the swordsman from my previous run and zap a guy trying to target me from below.

• It's funny how all the arrows you get hit with stay on your body. Truly adds some realism but also some comedy too when your'e walking around with an arrow in your head and somehow not dead.

• I think the guy I zapped somehow got behind me last time because the torchbearer is still there entirely clueless.

• I take him and the three guys below but forget about the othe swordsman again who runs out and stabs me from the shadows.

• They take out half my life but I press their tiny shield with enough thrusts and break through, killing him.

• I heal and make my way up to battle more enemies, including the big axe man.

• Switching to my crossbow I try luring some down but they just shoot arrows back at me.

• Blue Feathered Branchsword kicks in and saves me from a series of arrows so I run off to hide.

• When I try to rush the enemies again, they resort to kicking me nonstop like a gang initiation so I tumble away and scorch them with Flame Frenzy.

• After healing, I grab my runes from when I died killing the giant bladed lion then go after the gatemen.

• The axe man nearly kills me when I try to melee fight him and the last two stab me twice when I misjudge their speed.

• I explore the Bladed Lion's arena a bit for loot but nothing's left.

• There's this strange room further on the path with these knight statues that freaks me out but thankfully they don't move.

• After fighting so many gargoyles I have a hard time trussting statues.

• I find a Site of Grace at the bottom of some stairs leading up to a bridge.

• There's a dead Tarnished nearby so I know some trouble is close. Their body gives me a new talisman that reduces lightning-damage.

• The Stormhill bridge has golem bodies laying around but thankfully they're dead. I look around over the edge for secret ledges or pathways but find none.

• That's when I see it -- a live stone-golem rising from teh ground but that's not it ... nearby to the right a second stone-golem stands up too.

• My magic doesn't really damage them that well so I try to run past them to make enough distance to cast charged-up spells.

• I jump over the 1st stone golem's attack and charge up a Black Flames fireball but get smashed by teh 2nd stone golem's halberd.

• I run away and notice a giant stone arrow vanish an instant before getting hit by another one -- in the distance I see a 3rd stone golem with a giant bow and arrow lol.

• I try to dodge around and hide behind a column but the shockwave from the arrow hitting the ground still damages me.

• Healing myself a bit, I turn the camera and the two halberd golems creeping closer and try to come up with a plan ... time to use my early troll strategy. Too weak to kill multiple strong enemies? Maneuver around them and make them kill each other.

• I move closer to the archer golem and take a health potion to pad my bar enough for the next arrow that's aimed point-blank at my head.

• Runing around behind the archer golem I get the two other golems to knock the archer off their feet before I die.

• When I respawn, I rush Stormhill Bridge and try to run past the first two golems -- but get swiped by the second and nailed by the third's arrow.

• This time I hide a safe distance behind a column but get hit thrice by the halberd and flame attacks and arrows in a combo that somehow doens't kill me -- thank you Deathbird talisman :)

• I grab my fallen runes and combine my Flame Frenzy with one of the other halberd golems to knock over the archer golem.

• While it's great that one of the halberd golems uses a flame attack on the archer golem, I get stuck on their stunned body and burned as well.

• The archer golem gets killed with one more swipe from his buddies -- one down, two to go!

• The rest is just me angling myself so the last two golems attacks hit eacah other while I douse them with Black Flames fireballs.

• They almost kill me a couple times but now I can maintain a safe distance without worrying about giant arrows :)

• A minute later I almost get killed again because I run into a dead golem's body blocking my path.

• They're not dead yet but this is the end of part two ... see you guys in part 3!

• Hope you enjoyed this continuation of my Stormveil adventure.

• See you all in the next Elden Ring post!
